i thought you and milton friedman told me that the tax burden is in fact the rate of spending. why are these economists saying it is not true? >> who knows. you are right government spending is taxation. pure and simple. it doesn't recreate resources it takes them from one group and gives them to another. every time we have had massive government spending we have had a problem in the economy. it is true. in 2007, 2008 when the crash occurred those were the biggest periods of government spending increase. as you may have seen my piece on 34 countries, those that have the biggest spending plans have the biggest declines. and the same thing happened after world war ii as you know. we had massive spending cuts from 44 to 46. and the economy boomed as never before. >> so here is the thing. this is the national association of business economists. this is not the worker's socialist union. and look, these guys are coming out, they are coming out with two points that i have made on the show. they are in the midst of the n econo economy. these are guys who are in the business community a

[laughter] in part because that might suggest what i was criticizing friedman for doing, that a constitution will, you know, always work, or it will always lead us down the path toward the cliff. one of the most fundamental questions among political scientists is whether constitutions are important at all. because many would say, well, look, what's really important with regard to any political system is its economy, its degree of homogeneity, how many languages are spoken, how many different religions and what's the extent of the space and the hostility among the religions, how our natural resources are distributed is generally not a good idea for all of the resources to be found only in one part of a large country and things like that. so i don't want to overestimate the importance of constitutions or, therefore, to say, well, you know, here's the constitution that's really worked because, no doubt, there would be examples when it didn't. let me be truly heretical and say that one of the things i like about many state constitutions, and you find these especially in the west but not only the
